Spaces that consist of less than one Bar are called, "Rests".

There's probably a bit more to it than that for which the O/P is trying to produce.
Besides Spaces, Rests, etc, there's also a Musical Pause - which is neither a ritard nor a rest

A rest doesn't pause or change the tempo, it simply means don't play a note at that position for the duration (value) of the rest. The song timing stays the same.



A 'Pause' on the other hand does indeed 'pause' the music at that point, whether it be for a note or a rest:


This is what I understand the O/P is looking to do with Band-In-A-Box
